Oh no, that must have been frustrating and a hassle to deal with for your friend... Thanks for mentioning it. Hopefully that was a very rare occurance and not something which should tarnish their reputation.
Getting the complete wrong product sent out, there is no excuse for that sort of error. But mistakes happen, even by the smartest people on the planet.
Personaly, I most certainly could have ordered the Phantom 3 from out side the city, and would have likely been flying for a couple of weeks already.
But the customer service and personal care and attention to detail, that Great Hobbies offers its loyal customers is hands down the very best that I have seen or experienced Anywhere.
It's good to see the green dot, knowing by their inventory status, that some Phantoms have indeed been delivered to several of Great Hobbies stores already. So it's only a few days more, before my Phantom 3 Professional will be available to pick up, here in the capital city.
Have already also ordered two extra smart batteries, (no expected delivery date on those yet,) and an extra set of the new Phantom 3 rotor blades. Was also swayed by the forum "masses" to buy and change the device holder to the better Inspire 1 unit, and so I went ahead and have placed an order for one of those (better built), units as well. Only another $39 for my peace of mind, is fine.
I still have not decided whether to buy an iPad Air or iPad Mini.
Actually waiting for the Phantom and new device holder, so I can see how each tablet fits, and how the weight feels in my hands when attached to the Tx radio. Likely be a mini...
I'm happy to read about so many folks, already recieving their second batteries and more, if they chose to buy multiple smart batteries.
The awesome hard shell cases and numerous backpacks are awesome as well, and I know I will eventually need one, to carry my Phantom to the flying areas I wish to visit.
I am happy to be joining an elite bunch of Phantom 3 pilots who by my estimation and personal experience so far, seem to be a great bunch of people who really love this hobby.
It's been fun reading all the forum threads sharing good bad or indifferent feelings, and watching the multitude of awesome & awe inspiring videos, that prove just how incredible these new Phantom's can be, in the hands of a decent RC pilot. There will be a learning curve, as there are so many parameters and control adjustments and calibrations to make my Phantom fly great and come back to me when It's time to cool down, and place a fresh battery in the holding bay. This and other forums have been a great place to learn share and grow as a better hobbiest.
Even with those few nay sayers, who love to poke fun or create tension, it's been a gentle breeze and relief to have at my finger tips all the experience wisdom and positive reinforcement to go on.
I hope my experience with DJI continues to be a positive one, and that I will look forward to doing further business with this company in the near and distant future.
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day, to read my words and make comment, good bad or not.
As well, I'd like to take a moment to thank the forum moderators and support staff who have had their hands very full this past couple of months.
No one could have fathomed just how popular or in high demand the Phantom 3 would be, and I give credit and thanks to those bright young designers who brought us such an intricate and intelligently designed smart drone, we can all be proud of, once the minor glitches and scary witches are fixed. The several updates came out rather quickly, which shows me, they are hearing us, & continue working diligently through the night, so that we, together, may have only grand and memorable Phantom 3 experiences.
